Ingredients
Scale
- ⅓ cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- black pepper (to taste)
- ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons dried minced onion
- 2 pounds ground beef
- ⅓ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon yellow mustard
Instructions
- Prepare the slow cooker by creating a foil sling inside the pot and spraying it with cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, sea salt, dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
- Stir in the panko breadcrumbs and dried minced onion; let this mixture soak for 5 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the soaked mixture and combine gently, being careful not to overmix.
- Shape the meat mixture into a large loaf and place it on the foil sling in the slow cooker.
- Mix together the glaze ingredients and set aside half for later. Spread the other half over the meatloaf.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 2.5 to 3 hours or LOW for 5 to 6 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- Once cooked, spread the remaining glaze on top of the meatloaf and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
For a beautiful glaze, make sure to reserve half before applying it initially.
Resting the meatloaf helps retain its juices, making it more flavorful.
Using a mix of ground beef and ground pork can add richness to the flavor.
